Raspberry Beetle Trap

Raspberry beetle (Byturus tomentosus) is a common pest of raspberries but will also damage blackberries and loganberries. The adult beetle is inconspicuous, about 4mm long and dark brown in colour. It overwinters in the soil, emerging from April to early June.

It feeds on leaves, flower buds and pollen, then laying up to 120 eggs in individual flowers. On hatching the larvae feed inside the developing fruit and are often found in the raspberries at picking.

The raspberry beetle trap catches and kills adult beetles as they emerge from the soil in the spring. The large off-white vanes combined with a floral attractant lure act as a "super raspberry flower" that is irresistible to the beetles and draws them into the funnel trap bucket below, permanently removing them from your crop.

Each trap protects 50sqm.
